Hey now - it wasn't all that muddy out there, last time it rained was probably a week ago. There were muddy sections, but you're right...still too clean!

The Pleasanton Ridge also has some fairly steep climbs. Stuff out this way is just sustained, sometimes steeper but usually pretty mellow.

And, as a matter of fact, I already had a Nobby Nic and Racing Ralph here before the bike was built. I have those set aside for race season.
